Alright, so, the inimitable [personal profile] muccamukk suggested that, as a person who has a lot of emotions about the Mighty Eighth Air Force, I might enjoy the Gregory Peck film Twelve O'Clock High. AND SHE WAS SO RIGHT ABOUT THAT.

( Review behind a cut so as not to spoil anything with my flailing. )

So the TL;DR of all this would be that Twelve O'Clock High is a fantastic watch for anyone interested in military leadership and the day-to-day struggles of men in a high-stress combat situation, and also it's no hardship to watch Gregory Peck cut a fine figure in Class A's and look somberly into the camera for two hours.

Also, as I tend to do, I decided immediately upon finishing the film that I needed some icons on the off-chance that I feel the urge to sit down and write some Keith/Frank, and I figured folks here might also be interested. You can grab them here at my personal journal.
